Cruz aides declined to comment for that report, according to the newspaper, and his campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Wednesday.)

During the interview, Trump also derided the Iran nuclear deal as a “disgrace” and, turning to immigration, said he had five sources supporting his claim that the Mexican government intentionally sends criminals across the border.
